Availability

My daily routine is very structured, which allows me to consistently prioritize pet care. I plan my day around walks, feedings, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m flexible and able to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine, whether that’s early mornings, midday visits, or evening care.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes by keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, while also respecting their boundaries and personalities. In my clients’ homes, I’m very mindful, keeping the space clean and leaving everything exactly as I found it. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment wherever they are.

Information Maria R. would like to know about your pet

It’s really helpful for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. Please share details like feeding schedule, exercise preferences, medical conditions, medications, allergies, and any behavioral quirks (such as anxiety, aggression, or triggers). I also like to know how they interact with other pets and people, their favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and safe. The more I know, the better I can provide personalized, loving care!

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy! We’ll go on fun walks, play games like fetch or tug-of-war, and enjoy cuddle time if they like affection. I also include enrichment activities like puzzle toys or basic training games to keep their minds stimulated. Every activity is tailored to your pet’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.

Experienced & Dependable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I treat your home and pet with the same respect and care I would my own—punctual, dependable, and detail-oriented. I don’t do one-size-fits-all care—every pet gets routines tailored to their personality, energy level, and needs.

Rebeca has always been incredible with animals. I have watched her care for many different animals, and she has cared for mine herself. She is diligent, responsible, and gentle. I can’t recommend a better person to be a pet caregiver.

Rebeca was amazing with my little boy and he fully enjoyed his time receiving so much attention from her and her roommates. I couldn’t asked for a better sitter for my Milo

Rebeca was absolutely amazing with my pet! She was incredibly attentive, responsible, and kept me updated the whole time. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and my pet was so relaxed and happy with her. I couldn’t recommend her enough—10/10!

Rebeca was wonderful with my lab Albert! He can be a bit particular and is usually quite shy at first, but she had such a sweet demeanor with him and he warmed up to her so quickly. It’s clear that Rebeca cares a lot about dogs and will do whatever she can to make sure your pup is happy and comfortable. Would highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter!
